Convert igs file to solid part in catia

[rohitjaltareaug18]

I have a surface model file of upper column of steering system (which is manufactured by plastics) which is in igs format i.e dead solid . I want to convert the model into solid part so that I can make it into a parametric part. I have tried using thicken surface command and also by removing it from extruded block using Boolean operation. Both cases didn't produce satisfactory results. Please suggest some way to solve this problem as I have deadline to meet Thanks in advance!

You need to be on a CAD forum, not a steering one.
